This study investigates the impact of catalase (CAT) on the rheological properties of wheat gluten by analyzing CAT-induced structural changes in gluten proteins to uncover the mechanisms behind these modifications. The results showed that CAT significantly enhanced the storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G″) of gluten while reducing creep strain and recovery strain. The most pronounced effects were observed with the addition of 250 U/g CAT for 30 min. CAT facilitated the formation of larger molecular weight aggregates in gluten proteins and increased the content of disulfide bonds and β-sheets, reaching 11.42 μmol/g and 45.78 %, respectively, after treatment with 250 U/g CAT for 30 min. These structural changes reduced the hydrophobic regions of gluten, lowered gluten extractability, and enhanced the compactness and stability of the gluten network. These effects substantially influenced the rheological behavior of wheat gluten, offering new insights and practical guidance for improving gluten-based products using CAT.

This study explored composite gels' structural properties and short/long-term retrogradation behavior by varying ratios of wheat starch to gluten and gliadin to glutenin. The results showed that as the proportion of gluten increased, the degree of order and crystalline conformation was lost, manifested by an increase in the gel network's porosity and protein aggregation. The dilution effect of gluten on starch and the water competition significantly reduced the viscosity and elasticity of the system, and the ratio of glu75-gli25 had the most significant impact on the viscoelasticity.

Abiotic stresses such as drought (DS), heat (HS), and drought-heat combined stress (HD) frequently occur during wheat grain filling, significantly impacting yield and quality. This study investigated the response of a widely cultivated high-quality, strong-gluten wheat variety (Xinong 979) to DS, HS, and HD at the morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels during grain filling. Results indicated that abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation ability and proline accumulation were significantly enhanced under HD, with significant reductions in photosynthetic capacity, grain dimensions, and thousand kernel weight (TKW).

The moderate processing of wheat is increasingly valued. One of the technological means to achieve moderate processing is the hybridization of tempering and hot air drying for postharvest wheat. The initial moisture content at onset of tempering (IMCOT) of wheat significantly influences the efficiency of hot air drying as well as the yield and quality of wheat flour.

Climate change presents a growing challenge to global food systems, particularly in regions vulnerable to drought and water scarcity. This shows the urgent need to explore and promote climate-resilient crops that offer both resilience and high nutritional value. Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), a drought-tolerant grain with ancient roots in Africa and Asia, presents a compelling solution for global food security amidst climate change.
